What cuff are you going to get? They have two different ones and I'm not sure what one would be better? The palm one or the pro aneroid? I don't know if it makes a big difference..I mean I guess both are fine because it was on the link?
I was gonna read reviews on them to see which one is better

You totally read my mind. I'm doing the exact same thing! Yes I think I will order my cuff from the SNO link, and just get a Littman stethoscope : ).... I'm just fuzzy about where to get the shoes I've looked everywhere I can't find any ALL WHITE. : /

Hi Steph, Im getting the 3M Littmann Classic II SE. Which one did you buy?

Hey everyone, Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Does anyone know where to order our supply kit? I keep looking for it through the bookstore but can't find anything.

Hey guysI'm in the spring RN program and just found this thread! In the email for the textbook bundle, he says that it will ship right away even though the website says its prepublished, I ordered mine already and the rest I think I will order from amazon... I am going to get a Littman stethoscope because I can get my name printed on it so I dont mix it up with anyone elses...is anyone going to buy a sphygmomanometer from the SNO link?[/quote']

I wouldn't bother buying a bp cuff. You get one in your supply bag, learn to take a manual BP then you do t really use it again. In clinical they have automatic ones that you use.

Also is this the target shirt we are supposed to buy? tops, activewear, women's clothing, women : Target Do you think it is ok to wear a Nike dryfit shirt instead of this? At the intake meeting it sounded like any white athletic long sleeve round neck would be ok but this is one the faculty found or no?

I couldn't see the link, but you can buy any white dry-fit type athletic top. Just make sure it is a compression shirt (not cotton).

I bought my shoes from Payless. They are Champion brand and have a tempurpedic lining. Super comfortable and only $20. They had a small pink logo on them. I bought white nail polish and painted over it. Easy.

Do we need to purchase our own cuff?

Nope. You'll have one in your supply bag and you barely even use it past the first 2 weeks.

Hey guys! I got into the program too woot woot! So I'm actually a bit frustrated I've had the Hep B series done twice and I'm still not immune. I'm taking the series again and I really hope 3 is the magic number. Anyway I can't seem to remember since I'm retaking the series when can I upload it to ADB and be able to register?

Some people don't show immunity after the hep B series. Contact the nursing school and tell them what's up. There is a paper you can fill out instead as long as you had the hep B series recently and have your proof of that.
